Michelle Keegan goes to work on an egg
In an interview with Heat magazine, the Coronation Street actress said she favours a protein-based breakfast that is healthy, quick and easy to make – and her favourite egg recipe is an omelette made with smoked salmon and asparagus.
Michelle is the latest in a line of celebrities making eggs a key part of their diets. Alesha Dixon is reportedly a fan of poached eggs on toast and Cheryl Cole allegedly likes hers boiled. Hollywood stars are also embracing the trend, with Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale choosing eggs to set them up for workouts.
Nutritionist Cath MacDonald said: “It’s clear that celebrities are enjoying going to work on an egg. Whilst many of us may be tempted to embark on fad diets to slim down following the holiday period, it is much healthier to eat sensibly, starting with a protein-packed breakfast rich in vitamins and minerals.”
